General Size Advice for So Danca Dancewear
-
Girth is the Most Important Measurement
When selecting dancewear, the most relevant measurement is the girth (also known as torso length). To measure accurately, start at one shoulder, pass the tape measure through the legs, and bring it back to the same shoulder. This ensures the best fit for leotards and unitards. -
Size Up if in Doubt
If you find yourself between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size. A snug fit is essential, but dancewear should allow for flexibility and movement without restriction. -
Fabric Differences Affect Fit
- Lace leotards tend to have a smaller fit due to the fabric’s reduced elasticity. If you are considering a lace leotard, you may want to size up for a more comfortable fit.
- Tulle leotards offer a bit more stretch, making them slightly more forgiving in terms of sizing.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure the best fit and comfort for your dancewear. If you need further assistance, reach out for personalized advice.

So Danca SD69 Ballet Shoe Personality
Supportive • Confident • Trusted • Classic
The So Danca SD69 is designed to build confidence from the very first class. Supportive, comfortable and beautifully balanced, it gives dancers the reassurance they need while allowing technique to develop naturally through regular training. It is a classic ballet shoe that has remained a favourite with teachers, students and parents for years.
Design & Performance
The soft leather upper gradually adapts to the shape of the foot while the traditional full sole provides reassuring support for developing muscles and correct ballet technique. The result is a comfortable, dependable ballet shoe that encourages strength, balance and confidence throughout every lesson.
Available in Pink, White and Black, the SD69 allows dancers to choose the colour that best suits their ballet uniform. Many dancers select ballet shoes that closely match their tights or ballet socks to create a longer, uninterrupted leg line. The Pink colour is available in A (Narrow), B (Medium) and C (Wide) widths to suit a wider range of foot shapes, while White and Black are offered in the standard B (Medium) width, recommended for most dancers.

Dance World Expert Tip
The Pink SD69 is available in three width fittings: A (Narrow), B (Medium) and C (Wide). We recommend starting with B (Medium), as it comfortably fits most dancers. Choose A for particularly narrow feet or C if extra width is needed.
So Danca SD69 Fit Advice
Advanced & Professional Dancers
Many experienced dancers prefer a close performance fit, choosing approximately their measured foot size or around ½ UK size above, depending on personal preference.
Growing Students & Adult Beginners
For most dancers, approximately 1 UK size above measured foot length provides a comfortable everyday ballet fit while allowing room for natural movement.
First Ballet Shoes & Young Dancers
For first ballet shoes and younger dancers, approximately 1½–2 UK sizes above measured foot length usually provides comfortable growing room while maintaining a secure ballet fit.
Dance World Fit Advice is intended as a helpful starting point. For the most accurate fit, always measure the dancer's foot rather than using their everyday shoe size. Foot shape, width and personal preference all influence the ideal fit.
